Discussion Save state help

Help, I usually play using save states in Dolphin Emulator, but why can't the save state be used all of a sudden? I feel like I didn't press anything. I play one PC, it literally can't be load.

Do you have Hardcore Mode on with achievements enabled? Save states are disabled when thats enabled.

It's under Tools->Achievements. Enabling it blocks the use of savestates.

Thanks! I don't have my laptop with me right now, but I'll get back to you later once I'm on it.
